Raise your hand if you were a LatchKey kid that had to eat this abomination, or another McDonald's Happy Meal, after school in the 1970s or 1980s.

By today's standards, childcare in the 70s and 80s would have gotten our parents arrested. I watch a lot of "body cam" police videos on YouTube (shut up it's fascinating) and I've seen a fair number of parents put in handcuffs for child abandonment. This one woman went to visit another apartment in the same apartment complex while her 13 year old was in charge of the 9 year old. They were both asleep. Ummmm...yeah. (Read More On Blog)

Gen X mom reenacts 'coming home from school in the 80s' and it couldn't be more perfect

This article is so interesting. It was written in 1990 about how Gen X is entering the workforce and how we aren’t buying into the boomer propaganda about work.

This is why I still am still shocked to see the people I went to high school with boot licking like they do. This is why their simping for capitalism was so shocking to me in 2020. Especially after people told me for years that it “must be so nice to sit home all day!”

Then I watched them flip out when they could stay home with their family and collect an extra $600 on top of unemployment. The TANTRUMS OMG LOL

LATCHKEY KIDS (PHL/NJ), BIG GIRL (NYC), MASSIE (DC), & FADED HOME (PHL)

Onion.Transfer, Friday, February 21 at 07:00 PM EST

Latchkey Kids is a punk band forged in New Brunswick, NJ, playing the same dirty basements that made punk legends like The Bouncing Souls, Lifetime, and Screaming Females. Hanny Ramadan, Joey Gryzbowski and Cyle Morris are three friends who met in Rutgers University, and bonded over their love of The Menzingers and Pinegrove, and began writing songs about being 20-somethings alive in America today. As second- generation immigrants, Hanny and Joey have a particular POV that gets to the quintessential American experience of assimilation and alienation, as well as growing up and breaking up, love, and loss.

Touring their new single, Latchkey Kids will be joined by punk legends Big Girl & Massie from DC & NY as well hometown homies, Faded Home! An iconic house show for the books!!!
